Eyelid varus

Also known as “sexual varus”, it is one of the common eye diseases in the elderly. The patient often turns inward due to the edge of the lower eyelid. When the eye is blinked, the black eyeball (corneal) is often stimulated by the eyelashes, the tears are paralyzed, and the white of the eye (the conjunctiva) is red and congested, causing superficial keratitis. In severe cases, the black eyeball can also develop ulcers, and after healing, it forms a scorpion and affects vision. For treatment, for mild inversion, a small piece of tape can be cut onto the lower eyelid to pull the edge of the eyelid outward. If it is not effective, you can consider surgical correction, cut off some skin and muscles, and correct the position of the eyelids.Eyelid atrophyIn the thinner elderly, the upper eyelids are often degraded by subcutaneous tissue and fat, the skin of the eyelids is slack, wrinkles are formed, and sometimes some black eyes can be covered. This mild droop does not require treatment, and severe surgical resection is required. Senile eyelid atrophy can be prevented by doing eyelid health massage twice a day in the morning and evening, massage the bamboo, eye and other points, which can reduce eye fatigue and improve vision.

Another reason for tears may be that the elderly have facial paralysis, which causes the mouth to be skewed, the lower eyelids to be closed, and the eversion to form. When the tears are turned outwards, the tears cannot be discharged through the lacrimal canal. For patients with facial nerve palsy, surgery can be done.

Presbyopia

Commonly known as presbyopia, it occurs mostly around 45 years old. The reason is that as you get older, your muscles are getting weaker and weaker. Another important factor is that the intraocular lens hardens due to age. Like a camera, it cannot be aligned with the focal length, and the negative film is blurred. The corrective method is to wear reading glasses. If you wear presbyopic glasses, you can’t correct your vision. This may be because the fundus has been degenerated, or you have a senile cataract. You should go to the hospital for treatment.

Cataract

In the early stage, there were flaky or black dot shadows in front of the eyes, but the eyes were not red and no pain. With the gradual development of cataracts, vision gradually diminished, and finally the figure is not clear, and it cannot be corrected with lenses. This is because the original transparent circular lens behind the pupil is white and turbid, forming a barrier that obscures the line of sight. Cataract is a common type. The main symptoms are not clear. Usually, you need to pay attention to the eye conditioning method, and pay attention to the appearance of presbyopia, mainly because the function of the eye is declining, causing the disease. Usually, you should focus on the way of care, and Pay attention to self-care, effectively conditioning your eyes and avoiding more effects.
